Life is but a dream by Lewis Carroll this poem really drew my attention this week. I got the idea that this poem is about Alice in Wonderland because of the two lines “Alice moving under skies” and “In a Wonderland they lie.” The two key words Alice and Wonderland. The poem is maybe about Alice going to wonderland? There is a lot of repetition and alliteration in this poem. For example at the end of the poem there is an alliteration with stream and gleam. There is also repetition in “Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die.” I like this poem because it flows and it has a nice sound to it. One of my favorite lines is “Still she haunts me phantomwise.” I like that line because of the word phantomwise I’m not really even sure if it’s a word but I like the way it sounds. There are also some alliterations in “A boat, beneath a sunny sky” that is the first line of the poem and that line is simple but it really sets the scene of the poem. This is a pretty simple poem but I like it.
